French restaurants that have the American touch...


What does that mean exactly? A lot of French restaurants in Paris try to appeal to tourists by adding International food to their menu.
What i don't get is, why, if you are coming to France, would you want to eat a hamburger or a bagel??? Try out French food. It's really good.
And the sauce won't make you fat, I promise. The reason is, the servings are much smaller and the French don't snack (most of the time).

Anyway, I'm drifting here. My point is the following: I think that French restaurants also carry 'American' food to appeal to the French, who want to try out a little of the Americano taste.
Take the brasserie down the street from my office for example. They've got this great, yummy, French restaurant, and then, in the middle of the menu, a hamburger (ok), and....
a Brooklyn Bagel...What is a Brooklyn bagel? If anything, it's a NY bagel. And guys (I'm talking to the restaurant here). I you want to make something American, please don't make a bagel.

It's like American restaurants who try to make a croissant (which are always gigantic and filled with oily cheese). Just stick to your good French food.

P.S. I'm going to order it in the next couple of days. Stay tuned to find out what it's like.
